Testimonials

The Marketing classes that I’ve taken so far have definitely opened my eyes to different approaches that I can take with my band: how to promote my upcoming events properly, how to get them into the right channels. And the Accounting courses have helped me with creating budgets, so I can actually budget an entire tour and know how to finance the entire thing.
